I just finished reading Tempest Rising by Nicole Peeler. It's the fourth book in the Jane True series, a recent addition to the urban fantasy genre.

Spoiler!

And before anyone says anything about Twilight, it's INFINITELY BETTER, don't even say it, I don't want to hear that word again for the rest of my natural life.

It's about a woman who discovers she's half human, half selkie (see Celtic mythology) and suddenly, a whole new world (practically, even though it's still on Earth) opens up to her. Though the circumstances involve murder, mayhem, a race war and a conspiracy.

The author's writing style is very good and often hilarious. The humor of the author and the main character, Jane True, is pretty much what keeps me locked in this book...series. I highly recommend it if you can handle the adult content.

"The Hound of the Baskervilles" and "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde". I must say, for being great classics, I expected the ending to be played out a little more. The climax crashed pretty quickly...
